Synopsis
IN THEATRES: SEPTEMBER 8, 2000 (NATIONAL) NURSE BETTY is a fiery comedy
from director Neil LaBute (IN THE COMPANY OF MEN, YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS).
Betty Sizemore (Renee Zellweger), a waitress in a small Kansas town who
lives vicariously through her favorite soap opera stars, fantasizes about
a perfect life like that of the doctors and nurses on the tv show, "A Reason
to Love." When her husband, Del (Aaron Eckhart), brings an illegal business
deal into their home, Betty escapes into her fantasy and takes on the imagined
persona, Nurse Betty, in order to block out her husband's criminal activity.
A spry, touching film, NURSE BETTY's absurdity is purely funny. |
